This looks like a bug to me but want to confirm if I'm doing anything wrong. After running extlinux-update, the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file look like this: ----------------------------------------- ## /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf ## ## IMPORTANT WARNING ## ## The configuration of this file is generated automatically. ## Do not edit this file manually, use: extlinux-update default l0 prompt 1 timeout 50 include themes/debian/theme.cfg ----------------------------------------- I.e., all my editing would be gone and the machine is not bootable. This is the extlinux from latest Ubuntu Trusty: % apt-cache policy extlinux extlinux: Installed: 3:4.05+dfsg-6+deb8u1 Candidate: 3:4.05+dfsg-6+deb8u1 Version table: *** 3:4.05+dfsg-6+deb8u1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Have I missed anything?
